…with a simple execution strategy

4

1. Grow the oil business to generate cash flow

  • Targeting 700,000 bbls of oil (net) in FY12
  • Drilling 14 western flank exploration and appraisal

wells in FY12, with excellent success rate to date

  • Oil reserves upgraded in March 2012

2. Appraisal and development of Surat Basin CSG

  • Focused appraisal plan to maximise reserves
  • Pilot program planned for FY13 to test deliverability

3. Unlock a world class unconventional gas resource

  • Over 100 Tcf net Gas-in-Place resource
  • Demonstrate technical feasibility and establish a large

scale, cost competitive resource

  • Sasanof-1 to be fracture stimulated mid-may 2012
  • Talaq-1 now drilling and coring

Stratigraphic column showing target formations for unconventional gas

Shales

  • Thick, mature Roseneath and Murteree

shales

  • North American analogues

Tight sands

  • Toolachee, Epsilon and Patchawarra

tight sand / coal sequences

  • Basin centred gas plays
  • North American analogues

Coals

  • Thick, mature Toolachee and

Patchawarra coals

  • Senex has strong unconventional gas resource potential in both the south

(centred on PEL 516) and north of the South Australian Cooper Basin

PEL 516 program - excellent progress to date

12

Focused exploration program underway:

  • Desktop studies undertaken on

historic wells in surrounding area

  • Vintage Crop-1 – cored, full

desorption analysis, rock mechanics and mineralogy testing

  • Allunga Trough-1 – diagnostic

fracture injection testing

  • Sasanof-1 – finalising lab work
  • Upcoming:

– Talaq-1 (spudded 10th April, currently coring Roseneath shale) – Sasanof-1 fraccing (scheduled for 15 May) – Skipton-1 (spudding early June) – PEL 115 unconventional gas well

Encouraging results from Vintage Crop shale

  • Vintage Crop results received in full:

– Gas content results positive and in line with expectations with liquids present: C2 - C5 identified in material quantities – Rock properties consistent with successful North American plays

Sasanof-1 fracture stimulation to get underway

14

  • Allunga Trough injectivity test completed

– Successful fracture stimulation of Roseneath and Murteree shales – This “mini-frac” important for large-scale fracture stimulation design

  • Sasanof-1, Senex’s first dedicated unconventional well, completed early

April 2012 with promising preliminary results: – Gas shows evident across Epsilon and Patchawarra sands – Positive gas shows from desorption testing of shales and coals – Presence of heavy gases and condensates indicated by chromatographic analysis

  • Sasanof-1 large-scale fracture stimulation scheduled for 15 May 2012

– Fracture stimulation intervals in both Roseneath and Murteree shales – Two fracture stimulation intervals in Patchawarra tight gas sands
